Written during Thad's later years in Denmark after he and Mel Lewis parted ways, this bright, double-time tune designates piano as the main soloist, but includes an optional repeat of the solo chorus for trumpet and/or soprano (or alto) sax. A rubato intro and ending, both featuring solo piano, give the chart a strong sense of form and symmetry. Duration 4:00.

This is a swinging excursion in C minor that the whole band will love. An interesting development section follows the main statement of the melody that builds into a great send-off for the solo section. Effective background figures are provided to accompany the soloists. (Chord changes are cued on all parts along with written solos.).

Recorded by the Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band on the album March Of The Tadpoles, the score notes for this beautiful work explain two major performance options. First, the introduction may be replaced by a freely-improvised piano solo (as originally recorded on the album); this makes all sax doubles unnecessary. Second, the main solo feature for tenor sax may also be played by alto; extra substitute parts are provided. Duration 5:20.

Lush ballad features Alto Sax. Moves into half time feel with Alto soloists playing jazz before returning to the main theme. Very useful chart!

A driving rock groove, solid melody and zesty Latin overtones make this original a winner. The main solo section may be opened up as desired (written solos provided for all instruments), and at the coda the drummer kicks things up several notches by trading solos with the band. Plenty of ensemble writing throughout inspires confidence in young players.

This grooving shuffle starts with a bang and keeps on building! Tenor Saxes and Trombone 1 and 2 present the catchy melody with the rest of the band joining in. The half time feel of the bridge is a great contrast to the main shuffle groove. You'll love the ensemble writing and the clever counterlines that weave together.
SKU: CL.SCM-1085-00
This one starts with a slow unison sax melody leading to a full sax soli restatement of the main theme. A change to Double Time leads to the tenor sax and trumpet solos, followed by a bass solo. A soft ensemble chorus leads to a chorus and a half in classic shout chorus style. Written suggested solos provided. Includes an optional flute part. Written ranges: Trp. 1 ( Bb) , Trb. (Gb) , Alto (C).

Featuring a modal Latin-rock groove at a relaxed tempo, this unique Mike Carubia original provides you with an appealing concert or festival piece with a distinctive sound.

The solo sections are based on three easy Dorian scales which make solos accessible for the students. This chart includes an optional flute part. Very cool! Written Ranges: Trp. 1 ( Bb) , Trb. (G) , Alto (Db).
SKU: CL.031-2398-01
A contemporary sounding rock tune that sounds much more difficult than it is. Includes a very well written, yet surprisingly easy, keyboard part that will sound great when performed on an electric piano or synthesizer and an optional auxillary percussion part that utilizes wind chimes, shaker and cowbell to great effect. An exceptional chart for young bands on their way up.
